I'm using Microsoft Office 2002 under wine.  According to the instructions here:

...I've enabled font anti-aliasing, and it does work for fonts above a
particular point size.  However, it seems to turn itself off below a
certain size.  How can I configure the minimum font size at which to
allow anti-aliasing?
Try changing the dpi in winecfg.

Heh.  Well, that seems to work, in that 10pt fonts are now
anti-aliased, except it happens because my 10pt fonts are much bigger
than before :)  That's not quite what I was looking for.

It seems like the anti-alias feature is disabled based on the *pixel*
size of the font?

I am not sure if this is the case here, but often the fonts themselves actually set a minimum size for anti-aliasing. The font designer decides at what point the anti-aliasing would degrade the usability of the glyphs and turns it off. I know this is the case with many Asian fonts.

Have you tried with other fonts? Maybe you need to find a small character font designed for point sizes 10 and below.
